View answerDetails of the grants and funding made available to Dublin City Council towards the operation of the schemes in question are set out in the table below. The Schemes are funded by 80% recoupment available from my Department together with 20% contribution from the resources of the local authority. The Housing Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability, the Mobility Aids Grant Scheme and the Housing Aid for Older People Scheme came into operation in November 2007, replacing the previous Disabled Persons and Essential Repairs Grant Schemes, which were funded by 67% recoupment available from my Department together with 33% contribution from the resources of the local authority.
